December - January:
Multiplication is the name of the game! We took multiplication to a whole new level throughout the months of December and January! We took all of the strategies and tricks that we learned during December and applied them to problem solving with multiplication. Students looked at solving one, two, and three step word problems with these new strategies.
In addition, students are working on their fact practice. It is important to be practicing these facts constantly as they will continue to benefit them through division, fractions, and beyond!
Multiplication Strategies:
Arrays
Equal Groups
Commutative Property
Associative Property
Distributive Property
